This is one of the absolute easiest slow cooker meals ever! I actually did the prep work last night while I was cooking dinner so all I had to do today was turn on the slow cooker. When I came home from work, dinner was ready (and the house smelled awesome)! The prep work took all of about 2 minutes (seriously)! During dinner, my daughter asked if we could have salsa chicken every night! Ingredients:
2 lbs all natural chicken breast
1 jar all natural salsa (I use Newman’s own mild or medium – just be sure to read the ingredients to make sure it really is all natural ingredients)
1 can diced tomatoes (I used fire roasted diced tomatoes)
1 onion
1 lemon
Directions:
Place chicken in crockpot.
Pour in salsa and tomatoes.
Chop onion and add to crockpot.
Squeeze lemon juice on top.
Cook on low 6-8 hours.
Chicken will shred easily with a fork.
Yep, that’s it….doesn’t get much easier than that!
Serve with whole wheat tortillas, black beans, a little cheese, and avocado.
